The present invention in flying machines provides a vehicle or carriage 15 for supporting the completi mechanism when positioned upon the ground,4 the said carriage having four 'gri'iinidfwlieels 1G provided-with suitable jslioel e\absra bers. 1T and having a steering mechanism 18 ope 'ated in any desired nit-.inner by 'a steering lever mecha- The said Vcarriage has a bottom fra-me formed with parallel longitudinal bars 2O 1.00

having a forward cross piece21fand a rear cross piece 22 conrecting`thesaiiiie,liirl1ile` the Acentrally positioned pair of bars are rearwardly projected and are connected by a short cross piece 23 thus providingl` an beneath the steering mechanism hereinafter described. A subst:l ntially triangular frame 24 is forwardly positioned vertically upon the eamiiage and has its apex portion dowr'i nii wardly positioned uniting with the fro cross piece 21, whili` the side members of' tensions upwardly of the horizontally arranged base 26 of the said frame 24, the said extensions being adapted for mounting the parachute attachmenthereinafter set forth.

A rear frame 27 is mounted upon the vehicle cross bar in substantially the same manner as the forwardly positioned frame 24 which is of similar dimensions and the Said rear frame is likewise. provided with upper side extensions 28 above the horizontal top bar or base 29 thereof. The rear frame is braced upon the cross bar by means of vertical struts 30, while the front frame Z4 is similarly braced uponthe front cross piece 21 by vertical struts 31.

The two bars 2() are also forwardly extended and are provided with a forward cross bar A motor 33 is centrally positioned forwardly of the vehicle upon the Icentraily-arranged bars 2() and has a power shaft 34 provided with a clutch 35 adjacent the for vard cross piece 32, the said clutch being controlled by means of the operating lever 36 positioned slightly to the rear of the motor and at a convenient point.

to be grasped by the aeronaut.

A supporting bar 3T is positioned between the sides of the frame 24 in parallelism with the front cross piece 2l of the vehicle and 'is arranged in a plane slightly above the motor 33, while rearwardly extending bars 3S are arranged in the Same horizontaal piane as the bar 37 and connect the front and -reafr frames 24 and 27 respectively to gether.-` A transverse bar 3S) connects the bars 38 rearwarf'lly of the motor 33 and in parallelism with. the' front.crossl bar 37.`

lraci'ng wires 40 are arranged in X-shaped 4formation crossing each other and positioned betweenthe parallel bars 26 and 87 of the vehicle frame 24:.

Power/'fm te.

Parachute supporting rods 41 are oppositely arranged pivoted tothe. upper extensions 25 and 28 of the front and rear frames 24 and 2T respectively, pivot vbrackets 42 forming the connection between such extensions and rods. Receiving rollers 43 are journaled between the upper ends of each pair of front and rear rods 41, the Said 'posuil relation and resting upon similar braqkets .45 centrally arranged upon the upperi-frame bars 26 and' 29, the forward arrangement being as illustrated in Figs. l and (i.

Operating cords 46 are provided for the parachute rodiihll, one end of each cord being secured as atdi' adjacent the free lend of each rod and passingo'ver a post 48 perpemlicula'irly mounted upon the rod adjacent its pivoted' bracket 42, while the cord then passes through a slotted post llnllounted at the end of a rear extension 5() with which each of the rods 41 is provided. The cords then pass downwardly spaced from the outer sides of the adjacent frames 2t and 2T and run over pulleys 51 upon the said frames and thence lto a drum 52 `upon a centrally arranged shaft which is journaled through the bars 3'( and 39 of the carriagewvhieh shaft terminates in an operating crank 5l rearwardly of the motor and adjacent the operating levers 1S) and 30.

By this arrangement it will be seen that with the parachute attachment normally arranged in its closed position as illustrated in Fig. 1, theI crank 54 may be turned for winding up all of thefour cords 46 of the supportingrods 41 upon the drum '52,whereby all of the said rods will be swung outwardly upon their pivotal connections-l2 to their open positions best illustratedv in Fig. 6. This opening and separation of the rods 4l unreels the canopy 44 from the rollers 43, which canopy isthen stretched between the separated rollers 43 and presents a4 parachute canopy of relativelywide area and over-spreading. substantially the entire flying machine. The post-s l!) act as guides for the cords 46, while the rod extensions position themselves between opposite lugs 55 upon the adjacent portions of the frame extensions and 28. Upon releasing the crank and turning the same in an unwinding direction, the spring rollers 43 will automatically 'rewind .the canopy H thereon and the rods JCI will be drawn inwardly `where thevrollers will again assume their normal rest position as'illustrated in Figs.

The elevating I/vin'r/s.

lllevating wings 56 al'earranged for lais-A ing and maintaining the machine in the a'ir, each of the said wings 'being revohbly mounted by means of an axle 57 journaled in bearings' 58 of the frame extensions Zal. and The two oppositely arranged wings lleing identical, onlv one o-f the same will izo 0 openings t 75 for affording Slwing axles 57 and ously operated by :Q5 -a is in operation,

to the free end oi the screw-threaded to be4 threaded into the cen tral sleeves 63 of the space blocks 6:2 of the opposite beams 59 and has'separate end portionsfor journaling the wings in the ma- 5 chine frame. A 'The beam blocks 61 are each provided with a centralopening 64 over which 'posi- ,tioning plates 65 are adjustably secured, the said plates 65 havingr central journaling 66 through which the shafts 67 of planes 68 are journaled, the said blocks 61 beingprovided with opposite adjusting screws 69 if desired as only illustrated in Fig. 10 of the drawings, which will further 1|; hold the shafts 67 centrallyl positioned of the blocks 61.

The wings 56 are provided with a centrally arranged bracing means comprising three armed brackets 70 secured to 25 the brackets 76 are arranged oppositely projecting from the axles 57.

The winged planes consist of three frames 74 carried by the shaft- V67 in parallel relation and provided with a canvas covering air engaged surfaces and are provided with strengthening wires 76 diagonally arranged there-across. A driven i sprocket 77 is arranged upon a collar 78 jpurnaled upon corresponding ends of the drive chains 79 pass over 7 7 and over driving sprockets 86 positioned adjacent the front cross piece 21 of the carriage and forwardly of the motor The sprockets 8G are simultanethe motor 33 and are controlled by the aforo-mentioned clutch 35, it being noted that a' gear connectionl is arranged for effecting this simultaneous operation.

Af sleeve 82 is journaled upon the axle 57 of each of the wings 56 between thefor ,Ward frame 24 and the` adjacent beam 59 "of the wing. Two identical sprocket wheels are 'secured tothe said sleeve 82 and are the sprockets yprovided with separate sprocket chains 84 passing thereover .and a-lsoover relatively larger sprocket wheels 85 secured to the said planes, r l It will thus be'seen that when the motor the lever 36 may be employed for operating the clutch 35 thereby communicating power to the wheels 80 and through the chains 79 and thel sprocket limwbeels 77 operatively turning the axles 57. W The mechanism for controlling the point lanes 68 includes the rovided with is connected of feathering ofthe sleeves 82, .eachof w ich is an operatm handle 86 whic lby means o handle 86 and to a the 'axles :o 57, while `bracing -wires 7l extend through rthereim it a link 87 pivotally connected,

sliding sleeve` 88 arranged u on the top bar 26 of the front frame 24. 'lhe sleeve 8B has a threaded nut 89 depending therefrom through which a threil ded rod 90 extends, the said rod 90 being gournaled in suitable brackets 91 depending from the said bar26 and arranged at opposte sides of the sleeve 88. The inner end of taie rod 90 is provided with a pulley 92 over which an endless cord `crank 96, similar `motion is imparted to 'the threaded rod 90, which shifts the sleeve 88, the link 87 and the handle 86. The sleeve 82 being journaled or the axle 57, and the gears 83 being fixed to the sleeves, such movement of the Slee fes and gears relative to the .machine frame will change the feathering point of the planes 68, through the medium of the sprockets 85 and chains 84, This adjustment of t'ie feathering point of the planes 68 will permit the machine to descend while the motor is running at full s ee pEach of the wings i7 being thus provided with a controlling sleeve 82 operable by identical cranks 96, it will be seen that individual controlling means are thus provided for-the,wings` whilz the lever 36 controls the main clutch of tiemotor as heretofore noted. .When the c utch 35 is thrown in, the wings 56 will be revolved, while on account of the stationary position of the prockets 83, the pla nes 68 will each be inividually revolved and the gearing is vso arranged that the Llanes 68 will be given one-half a revolution upon lete revolution of the win s 56. The directlonfof operative rotation o the wings Vis inwardly and upwardly as lillustrate by the arrows `in Fig. 1 of the drawings, whllethemovement of their` individual axial shafts 67 during a com the planes is also illustrated by dottedlilies ,4

being sten that the planes are positioned approacling a horizontal plane, while passing out ardly andthereb l offering the Vgreatest resistance to the air c uring such movements,'while the planes are suhstant ally vertically arran d when passing in Nardly and upwar ly through the framework of the machine an thus ollerin the minimum amount 'of sistance during ths inoperative or return movement of the planes.4 When the machine is positioned stationary upon the ground, an operating of-th'e wings by means of the motor resuts in elevating the Smachine oli' the round after the manner of a helicopter an aft ir beinglrso eleva-ted, the' and Vdownwardly n' 4spaced relation beneath the upper machine is sustained inthe air and may be controlled in lowering or rising during its Hight by the pitoper control ot' the speed of the motor.
